Ingredients
- 8 large sweet potatoes peeled and quartered
- 8 slices cooked bacon chopped
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place sweet potatoes in a heavy-bottomed pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once water is boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover with lid, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Drain water and allow sweet potatoes to become cool enough to handle. Remove and discard skins.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat potatoes until smooth. Stir in butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, half and half, and milk. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Spread mashed sweet potatoes across a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and bake in the oven until thoroughly heated, approximately 20 minutes.
- Top evenly with bacon pieces, return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
